While driving aimlessly after a quarrel with his girlfriend, a writer accidentally runs over and kills a child. The accident and its aftermath deeply traumatizes him. Over the next 12 years, he struggles to make sense of what happened and continue on with life, but when he looks in the mirror, he sees a murderer. Written by anonymous
I had given up expecting anything great from Wim Wenders a long time ago;he still made it in my best five list of directors of all time because of his German films of the seventies, but my enthusiasm had diminished after The state of things-his last masterpiece, in my opinion, up till now-and as times went by he, unfortunately, became a replica of himself, seeming to run after what he one was but ending up with a feeling of an awkward imitation, no matter how beautifully shot his movies always were. So it was a very pleasant surprise to watch in Everything will be fine the Wenders I once adored come back.The film is a lesson in directing, so beautiful, solid, subtle and emotionally rich-it is the only film for years that made me cry-and at the same time it is discreetly under the spell of the personality of the man who once made Alice in the cities and In the passage of time.The trailer I had watched says much about the plot but nothing about the way Wenders drives his actors-unexpectedly excellent, some of them-and the whole movie to a kind of perfection we encounter only in the Great:Antonioni, Polanski, Bergman, and, yes, among others, Wenders himself.This also means that the movie functions perfectly not only aesthetically but transfers feelings and ideas with maximum impact through minimum means.A masterpiece!
